  Description

  We live in a tiny village called Venda. Ir is a12 minute drive to Caldas da Rainha. We basically live in the countryside and we are looking for somebody who can help us manage the property and our one dog Kino who we rescued from a local shelter in Caldas da Rainha. We would also like to have someone who speaks Portuguese and potentially, would like to learn English. It would be a win/win for both us to speak Portuguese and the other to learn English.
  
  We are 1 of 25 homes in the village. All the residents are Portuguese speaking. It is not busy and it is quite quiet.
  
  Our dog, Kino, is from a shelter and spent 2 years of his life there. He was quite shy and timid and we saw something in him. He just needed the love and trust to know he was safe. He has much more to learn and to stop being afraid of sounds and noises that make him want to hide.
  
  Looking for someone who would help with all aspects of running a household.
